The review the reel deal

by alex guyton

Don’t submit to ‘Fifty Shades’

“F

ifty Shades of Grey” fails on so many levels that watching it is a type of punishment that even the most pain-seeking submissive couldn’t derive pleasure from.

Anastasia Steele (Dakota Johnson), a graduating English major, must interview billionaire Christian Grey (Jamie Dornan). The interior of Grey Enterprises Holdings is as cold and steely modern as its generic name, and the reception area is manned by equally-as-nondescript supermodel platinum blondes.

The film actually starts off with the tease of promise with this initial meeting between Steele and Grey. Despite Johnson portraying

Anastasia as exaggeratedly timid, barely able to get out a sentence in her breathy voice, the scene still manages to come across as purposefully tongue-in-cheek.

Having shown up unprepared to take notes, Anastasia is offered a long, gray, monogrammed pencil from Grey. Throughout the interview, there are close-ups of her rubbing the eraser over lips, giving it a little nibble. It’s so overtly phallic that it seems self-referential, like the movie’s aware that it’s playing like a $40 million dollar porn parody.

Early on, the movie seems to be in tune to its cultural status and having fun with it. Grey happens to show up at the hardware store that Anastasia works at and asks her to direct him to the cable ties and the masking tape.

Though Anastasia comments that Grey’s shopping list makes him the “complete serial killer,” she’s none the wiser to the true intent of those items, while the audience’s laughter means they’re in on the joke.

“Fifty Shades of Grey” initially operates under the assumption that everyone watching already knows what they’re getting themselves into.

It seems perfectly content to be the kinky soft-core BDSM flick that’s dominated television screens and tabloids.

And then the movie starts taking itself seriously, and it’s like going from lubricated to unlubricated.

For those who don’t know the score, Anastasia and Christian continue seeing each other, and Christian reveals that he’s a sadist. He likes being in control, the dominant in the dominant-submissive symbiosis; chains and whips excite him.

He has taken it to such an extent that he has a contract that his potential submissives must sign.

Unsurprisingly, Anastasia is hesitant to this arrangement, and, thus, the sole conflict of the over-two-hour film revolves around if Anastasia wants to sign and become his sex slave.

The two leads don’t have nearly the amount of chemistry needed to shoulder the load. Unfortunately, Dornan’s performance is consummately wooden. He has two variations of ponderously delivering lines: seriously and more seriously.

Somehow, even the facetious “laters, baby” line he uses to tell Anastasia good-bye is sternly one-note.

However, Dornan does not receive any help whatsoever from the script.

The dialogue is not so much on the nose as it is a haymaker to the face.

Take this subtext-laden exchange towards the end of the film.

“Why are you trying to change me?” Anastasia asks.

“I’m not; it’s you that’s changing me,” Christian said.

Maybe the characters speak this way because they are so underdeveloped. Anastasia is a timid English major that likes “Tess of the D’Urbervilles,” and that’s all there is to her character, essentially.

She’s also a virgin, and it’s a fair assumption to say that a young woman who’s made it all the way through college without taking a lover values her virginity. Yet, her first night with Grey, that’s cast off without hesitation. One term for that is “shades of gray”; another is “uneven characterization.”

Chemistry, performances, dialogue, yada, yada, yada: Everyone’s come for the bondage.

First of all, Christian refers to the room with all of his sex devices as his “playroom,” and, if you’ve ever heard a grown man refer to his sex dungeon as his “playroom,” you know that it is impossible for it to come across as sexy and serious. It’s a mood killer.

The activities in the playroom, or the “Red Room of Pain,” as Anastasia refers to it at one point, naturally escalate. In the first session, Anastasia starts off having her wrists bound, and, eventually, she is being suspended in mid-air, whipped with a cat of nine tails.

The scenes are about as explicit as an R-rating will allow; there’s no full-frontal nudity, but there is an unpleasant split-second shot of

Finally, the last scrap of integrity the film can salvage is whether or not these scenes are actually effective and arousing. They are portrayed so fantastically ridiculous that they’re removed from reality.

The audible laughs from the audience are answer enough. This time, we’re laughing at “Fifty Shades of Grey,” not with it.

WILDCAT WEEKEND • 3

Darcy, Rochester among lame literary lovers Anna Mae Ludlum New love stories are written every day, but when the matters of true love are discussed in literature, the classics still seem to hold the prize for most swoon-worthy leading men.

Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice” is 202 years old and still garners fans from around the world. Charlotte Brontë’s “Jane Eyre” epitomizes the innocent woman taming a jaded man and now gathers criticism for outdated overtones, while Nicholas Sparks’ “A Walk to Remember” took over bookstores and movie theaters alike.

Mr. Darcy of “Pride and Prejudice” Mr. Darcy, the dullest hero in Austen’s canon, has jilted women’s expectation of love for centuries.

Darcy’s vocabulary includes “ardently,” “scruples” and “unalloyed inclination.” His firm grasp of the English language combined with his statuesque frame entice even Elizabeth Bennett. Women pretend they could refuse him, but are Austen fans likely to hesitate when an undeserving man like Darcy can put a thesaurus in submission?

Next time a man with grimy hair and wrinkled, Febreze’d clothing uses Darcy’s goto words like “imprudence” or, God forbid,

“henceforth,” ask yourself this: Did you catch your breath in awe of his supple presence or were you merely holding it because the stench of his Axe body spray was zapping your oxygen supply?

Mr. Rochester of “Jane Eyre” Brontë’s “Jane Eyre” features the classic gothic romantic elements of the theologically sound girl, the man with a damaged soul and the bat-crazy wife hidden in an attic.

Mr. Rochester is a prime example of a rebel heart calmed by the sweet musings of the “poor, obscure, plain and little” heroine, Jane Eyre. He desired every bit of Jane, but he didn’t pursue her solely as another notch on his bedpost — and not just because his bed post had burned to a crisp.

Jane’s naivete wasn’t sought after in the same perverse way the “maidenhead” of a young woman is purchased the night before her life as a Geisha. Today, Jane refusing sexual intimacy with Rochester is viewed as repressed and anti-feminist.

However, if Jane had submitted to the married man’s efforts, would she be any better than a modern woman convincing herself that her married boyfriend’s wife “doesn’t treat him right”?

In the end, Jane’s resolve to run away from his tempting offer resulted in their lawfully

binding marriage.

Landon Carter of “A Walk to Remember” “A Walk to Remember” by Nicholas Sparks was published in 1999, but his contribution to the romance genre has altered expectations of love. Sparks’ tale of the naive bookworm Jamie Sullivan, secretly battling terminal leukemia, was the surest way to manipulate readers into overlooking her lack of fault and depth.

Sparks’ bad-boy-next-door transforming into Sullivan’s wise, devoted caregiver makes for an instant, though highly unlikely, hero.

Overlooking harsh realities of living with cancer, the literary community treats this disease as the choicest-of-all maladies.

If Sullivan were covered in boils, would her teen lover apply balm to her ravaged skin?

Would he serenade her with lyrics about her permanent catheter bag or write sonnets about her agoraphobia? Romanticizing terminal or curable diseases overlooks the truest test of love. Can love survive when chronic illness washes away outer beauty and joy and robs a person of their future?

Silly little love songs: yay or nay?

L

Madison Scavarda

ove, with all of its joys and all of its pains, is often best expressed with a melody and some poetry.

Music seems to complement love — it articulates a rush of emotions with a beat of a drum or a strum on a guitar. When love is felt or even desired, singing along to some feel-good love songs feels natural. In some wonderful cases, music is what brings people together — giving people the courage to open their hearts and let love in. With so many note-worthy love songs to list, it’s difficult to pick only 10, but the following list attempts to do just that by combining some older classics with some modern hits, in no particular order.

1 “You Got What I Need” — Joshua Radin This slower song is the essence of simplicity and romance.

Joshua Radin’s lyrics, such as “Baby you, you got what I need/ Baby you, you got my sunshine,” are so gentle and sweet.

Listeners won’t find it difficult to melt into the soft rhythm of this love song.

2 “I Will Always Love You” — Whitney Houston Timeless and powerful, this song will probably always find its way onto lists of top love songs. Giving many listeners goose bumps, Whitney Houston sings about enduring love — one that is too rich to be forgotten or regretted even if it is lost.

33

“Love Story” — Taylor Swift Taylor Swift has been singing about love for years, exposing her personal joys and heartaches through her self-crafted lyrics. It is her relatability and genuine approach to the art that makes Swift’s love songs, among others, so powerful.

6 “The Way You Look Tonight” — Frank Sinatra It’s pretty obvious as to why this song makes it onto the list: Frank Sinatra is perfection.

6

7 “Pull Me Down” — Mikky Ekko This song, while probably not as well known as some of the others on this list, should definitely 7be recognized. Mikky Ekko vocalizes a love that is plagued with brokenness. The haunting undertones only emphasize the authenticity of his love.

8 “Boom Clap” — Charli XCX On the soundtrack to the popular 2014 film “The Fault In Our Stars,” this song expresses the excite8ment one feels as they experience the joys of love.

9 “Everything” — Michael Bublé There is something absolutely wonderful about being someone’s “everything.” Michael Bublé’s series of metaphors comparing his love to everything that makes up his world is not only catchy but heart-felt.

10 “Taking Chances” — Céline Dion Céline Dion sings about having the courage to love. Her 10powerful voice projects fearlessness toward taking chances.

4 “(I Love You) For Sentimental Reasons” — Nat King Cole With a voice like silk, Nat King Cole is the epitome of all that is classic. His pure voice accompanied by the piano is a match made in heaven.

all time. Ian Curtis of Joy Division sings about his marriage being torn apart by depression and everyday life. Later, in 1980, Curtis committed suicide.

5 “No Children” — The Mountain Goats Here’s a mid-playlist shout-out to all the readers who aren’t single and sad but only wish they were, those miserable couples intent on dragging everyone down with them.

“Our friends say it’s darkest before the sun rises / We’re pretty sure they’re all wrong,” lead singer John Darnielle warbles.

Wallow accordingly.

6 “Love Is A Losing Game” — Amy Winehouse This song appears on her second album, Back to Black, which was produced by Mark Ronson. Soulfully, Winehouse shows just how much unrequited love can hurt.

5

5 “Thinking Out Loud” — Ed Sheeran In his music video to this song, Ed Sheeran and a young woman share a special dance. When listeners hear his sweet lyrics they won’t be able to keep from dancing along as well.

f you’re celebrating Single’s Awareness Day or just taking Valentine’s Day with a bitter swig of contempt, the cynic in all of us needs some tunes to get through Saturday. This anti-Valentine’s Day playlist will get you in the mood — if that mood is open defiance of the so-called holiday of love.

1 “People In Love Make Me Feel Yuck” ­— Drenge The two brothers from the English periphery give voice to what every Valentine’s-hater thinks: Seriously, can you take your PDA somewhere else?

2 “Best of Friends” — Palma Violets “I wanna be your best friend, I don’t want you to be my girl.”

Hyped by NME for being the new saviors of rock ’n’ roll, the British band rose to fame for a brief time a few years ago, all based on this song.

7 “Not In Love” — Crystal Castles In this song, Robert Smith of British post-punk band The Cure joins the Canadian electronic duo. Sadly, Crystal Castles called it quits last year after only three albums, and this song remains one of their most successful commercially.

8 “Heart of Glass” — Blondie “Once I had a love and it was a gas / soon turned out to be a pain in the ass.” Enough said.

9 “Everybody’s Trying to Be My Baby” — The Beatles This song was released on the fab four’s fourth studio album, Beatles For Sale, in 1964. It has George Harrison on vocals complaining about the 19 dates he got just by going out and the 50 women who are knocking down his door.

10 “I’m Not In Love” — Talking Heads This playlist ends on a less spiky note with the words of American post-punk band Talking Heads. “I don’t need love, there’ll come a day when we won’t need love / I believe that we don’t need love.”

3 “Bug A Boo” — Destiny’s Child Beyoncé Knowles, Michelle Williams and Kelly Rowland are all on point with their sass as always, telling a clingy boy to stop paging their beeper and sending messages to their AOL email.

Online dating has something for everyone lior attias

T

he market of dating sites has tapped into everything one could be looking for in a partner, from age (SeniorPeopleMeet.com) to sexual kinks (FurryMate.com). There is no question that dating apps and websites have influenced the way people meet, but some argue that the process is not so different from the way people used to date.

In any relationship, one key question must be answered: How compatible are two people?

“Successful couples exhibit positive interactions, such as frequent exchange of positive reinforcements, including caring, appreciation, respect and tenderness,” said Austin Grinberg, a psychology graduate student, citing a 2013 study.

In short, relationships are based on sharing the good and the bad.

“Successful couples deal

with external stressors such as occupational difficulties, health complications, family relational issues, etc., in a more communal way than distressed couples,” Grinberg said.

Being in a successful relationship may even be beneficial to your health.

“There is evidence suggesting couples coping with stress in a communal way have better health outcomes when dealing with chronic health problems as compared to couples dealing with health problems more individualistically,” Grinberg said.

Actually finding the right person, though, is a somewhat more difficult matter.

“The question of compatibility begins with the question of attraction: How do people get together in the first place?” said David Sbarra, an associate professor of psychology.

“We know from a lot of research that people like to date people

like themselves — in other words, compatibility is ‘birds of a feather’ rather than ‘opposites attracting.’”

The idea that dating websites try to link one person with another similar person is not so far from how we pick partners in real life. However, dating websites are not ideal for couples trying to find true compatibility. “[They] cannot account for how people mature over time,” Grinberg said. “Online communication can be useful in the short term, but lacks the substantive quality of a face-to-face interaction.”

Some argue that it is precisely the surface-level, short-term appeal that makes dating websites so successful.

According to Eli Finkel, a psychology professor at Northwestern University, the shallower, the better. In an article in The New York Times titled “In Defense of Tinder,” Finkel writes that the conventional algorithm that many dating sites use is inherently flawed.

“Browsing profiles is virtually

useless for discerning the sort of information that actually matters in a relationship,” Finkel writes.

He points out that the carefully constructed text and photos on a person’s profile will rarely predict short-term satisfaction, such as if a date will go well, and almost never predicts long-term satisfaction.

The superficiality of apps like Tinder actually mimic the way people meet in real life: an impulse attraction followed by a short conversation and maybe a date. “[Tinder] takes dating back to the pre-Internet era,” Finkel writes.

“People met potential partners about whom they knew relatively little at parties, bars, dog parks — situations in which people can get a strong initial sense of romantic compatibility.”

The main benefit to dating websites is not their ability to match or predict a relationship, but rather the chance they give singles to meet.

The less pressure that there is on a

potential meet-up or date, the more people are likely to actually make a connection. In many ways, meeting someone over apps like Tinder or JSwipe isn’t so different from how people meet in real life: Consider the attractiveness of a person, maybe have a short conversation and swipe left if they don’t make the cut.

In more recent history, stands the test of time, condoms provided a thin-but-effective a jingle chanted by barrier between health and disease during many generations of sex-ed instructors.

Such campaigns pose questions regarding how the populace consumes sex concern in the midst of sexual indulgence.

In an interview conducted by Vice’s sexual satisfaction, their utility and history Shanrah Wakefield with Michael Weinstein, prove to be so much more.

History of V-Day not so sweet

H

chelsea cook

eart-shaped symbols have long represented matters of love and no holiday moreso than Valentine’s Day. Though Valentine’s Day is a now a celebration where people purchase candy, stuffed animals and roses to show appreciation for their significant others, the holiday’s origins were not always quite so sugary sweet. But just like how the heart shapes we draw today are no anatomical representations of human hearts, Valentine’s Day has changed drastically since its beginnings. And like the anatomical human heart, the original Valentine’s Day celebrations were much more bloody.

The origin of the day comes from the Roman holiday Lupercalia. Celebrated between Feb. 13 and 15, Lupercalia was meant to foster fertility. Though the sentiment doesn’t seem too far off from today’s sex-filled holiday, the ancient Romans’ idea of fertility was achieved by sacrificing animals and whipping women with the dead animals’ hides. To finish off the festival, bachelors would select a single name from an urn full of the names of young women, and the two would be forcibly matched for the duration of the festival or sometimes longer.

As many know, Valentine’s Day is rumored to be named after St. Valentine. But while the story told is that Valentine was clubbed, stoned and beheaded to death, there were in fact two St. Valentines.

“Emperor Claudius II executed two men — both named Valentine — on Feb. 14 of different years in the third century A.D.,” writes Arnie Seipel in “The Dark Origins of Valentine’s Day” for NPR. “Their martyrdom was honored by the Catholic Church with the celebration of St. Valentine’s Day.” Claudius banned soldiers from marrying, but Valentine went behind his back and performed the ceremonies anyway. It is said that while Valentine was imprisoned, he somehow healed the blind daughter of his jailer. According to The Huffington Post article “The History (and Present) of Valentine’s Day,” on the eve before he was executed, Valentine wrote a note to the daughter and signed it, “From, your Valentine.”

In the Middle Ages, Valentine’s Day was linked to romantic connotations when it was believed that Feb. 14 was the first day of birds’ mating seasons. Written valentines began to appear in the 1400s — the oldest of which was written in 1415 by Charles, Duke of Orleans.

William Shakespeare and Geoffrey Chaucer also hold a place in Valentine’s Day history.

Shakespeare romanticized the day in both “A Midsummer Night’s Dream” and “Hamlet,” and Chaucer’s poem “The Parlement of Foules” praises the saint the holiday’s named for.

REGAN NORTON/THE DAILY WILDCAT

AN ARRAY of classic Valentine’s Day gifts on sale at the Student Union Memorial Center on Thursday. Valentine’s Day was not always the consumer-driven holiday it is today.

Today, Valentine’s Day has turned into a commercial phenomenon.

Total spending on Valentine’s Day is estimated to hit $18.9 billion, according to the National Retail Federation Valentine’s Day Consumer Spending Survey, Each year, it seems as though people are willing to spend more and more money on Valentine’s Day. The three most popular items to spend money are candy (53.3 percent), flowers

(37.8 percent) and dinner out (35.1 percent), according to the survey.

No matter if you choose to spend Valentine’s Day reciting Shakespeare and spending money on your date or opt for Single’s Awareness Day and treating yourself, one thing’s for sure — this is one holiday we shouldn’t do as the Romans did.

alentine’s Day is upon us, and along with it come holiday deals and promotions. In order to spread the love and get in the spirit of romance that fills the air every Feb. 14, restaurants all over Tucson are breaking out their special menus and couple pricing.

Downtown Tucson is full of bars, eateries, clubs and theaters, and one place that functions as all four in one is the famous Hotel Congress. Within Hotel Congress is the Cup Café, a quaint little restaurant for sweethearts to enjoy a meal. Every year, the cafe creates some unique dishes for couples to dine on for Valentine’s Day, but this year, it has a criminally romantic twist: The dinner theme is Bonnie and Clyde.

The staff at Cup Café has created special dishes for the Bonnie and Clyde Valentine’s Dinner. Complete with an appetizer of cauliflower tacos, an entree choice of either filet mignon with scallops or glazed duck, and an array of strawberry desserts, every bite is brimming with romance.

“The guests will have an option of coming in and getting some of their favorite dishes, or if they’re in the spirit of things, they can take advantage of the specials that we create just for that evening,” said Herb Calleros, manager of Cup Café.

On the other side of town, Pastiche Modern Eatery restaurant and bar is also serving up a three-course meal for lovebirds looking for dinner out. Located on North Campbell Avenue near Fort Lowell Road, this familyowned American restaurant is offering two

appetizers, entrees and desserts for $70.

Catering to couples who like to have options, the Valentine’s Day menu offers various choices for each course, featuring everything from voodoo Cajun pasta to bourbon salmon.

Pastiche is also stretching out the love — instead of only offering its Valentine’s Day special on Saturday, the

couple’s menu has been available since Thursday and will continue until Sunday. For those who are unable to get out on Valentine’s Day, Pastiche allows for an early or belated celebration.

For couples looking for dinner and a show, the DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Tucson — Reid Park is offering just that. This weekend,

the husband-and-wife magician team Carnival of Illusion will be performing at the hotel, with one show on Friday and three on Saturday. Magicians Roland Sarlot and Susan Eyed are Tucson natives whose magic show marries a Vaudeville roadshow with the flair of international travel.

“Carnival of Illusion is an intimate show where the magic is up close and personal,” explained Marnie Sharp, the personal assistant to Sarlot and Eyed.

After the show, those who attend can visit Cactus Rose, the restaurant located inside the hotel, and receive a discounted couple’s dinner. By presenting a ticket, a couple can receive a three-course meal, complete with two glasses of wine or another nonalcoholic beverage, for just under $40.

These are only some of the countless dinner specials that Tucson restaurants will be offering this Valentine’s Day. If you and your sweetheart are interested in any of the offers mentioned or are looking for a place to dine out, be sure to reserve a table as soon as possible, as restaurants will be packed with lovebirds.

If you don’t get a spot at that restaurant that you were looking at, don’t fret — a homecooked meal made with love or a simple picnic in the park work can just as well for you and your valentine.

Don’t fret over feeling forever alone Anna Mae Ludlum

Y

ou will die alone.

Is this your reaction when your Facebook feed updates engagement and wedding photos and pesky “in a relationship” status updates?

Unfortunately, friends, family and your Beyoncé-enthusiast grandma might have reasons other than ignorance and senility when asking why no one likes you enough to “put a ring on it.”

Ring by Spring is an old adage describing a “plan” to meet your future spouse your fall semester of college and be engaged by spring.

Assuming society has overcome this sorely outdated notion is willfully allowing yourself to be blind to the truth.

Peter Chin, a writer for Christianity Today, said marriage has become an idol for many people who aren’t told the value of one’s single status.

Ring by Spring is widely thrust upon young college women associated with religious colleges but

is still found at the UA. Cassidy Blumenthal, a journalism sophomore, said she felt old when a 19-year-old friend posted engagement photos on Facebook.

Pressure to be in a serious relationship in college abounds.

The bubble of a university fueled by immaturity, parties and newfound freedom doesn’t make for wise decisions, but the wisest decision of your life, whether to marry or not, is expected by many to occur during these years. Some professors begin each semester with a prophecy about students meeting future spouses in class.

“Everyone says college is when you’re supposed to find who you’re supposed to marry, so I have my dad on my case already,” Blumenthal said, adding that her dad believes if she found a nice Jewish boy, he could help her figure out her life.

Episcopal Chaplain Ben Garren of the Campus Christian Center explained that single women face a level of ostracization within the church that men don’t.

“Sadly, so many people identify the value of a woman based upon

if she is attached to a man versus a man is able to stand alone,” Garren said.

There is no place to hide from the incessant marriage question, either; nearly every country, culture and religion has some variation of this marriage mentality.

“There is a strong cultural push for people [in] almost all cultures, but especially in the Korean community, to get married,” Chin said.

Busra Akcabozan, a Turkish graduate student, said Eastern

countries like Turkey view marriage as the most important union of all.

“Your social environment, your friends, the culture expect you to be married,” Akzabozan said.

The Chinese government created programs intended to negatively stigmatize unmarried women to sway them from their education and career to marry and balance the overpopulated male gender. China calls women who put marriage on the sidelines “Sheng nu,” or “leftover women.”

Mackenzie Skodiak, a junior studying information sciences, technology and arts, said her church struggles to create a welcoming environment for single people older than the college age group.

Konden Smith, a religious studies assistant professor, said the single life isn’t a commonly held life plan within Mormonism, and that the pressure to marry is strongly put on women. Separate wards within the Mormon Church are designated for singles to find a proper spouse and, when they do, they are accepted back into the family ward.

Ring by Spring adds additional pressure to the pressure cooker of university life, distracting from education, personal goals and discovering one’s identity. An assignment deadline is the only time frame to adhere to; otherwise, putting love on a timetable is sure to leave you eating your feelings this Valentine’s Day.

Taking your fling for a swing Madison Scavarda

P

repare to pull a Swayze, as the Tucson Jazz Institute will be hosting its second annual Valentine’s Day Big Band Swing Dinner Dance on Friday at the Viscount Suite Hotel.

“The Dance is the annual fundraiser for the TJI Parent Group,” said Andrea Bruno, one of the organizers for the Swing Dinner Dance. “The parent group supports the students of TJI by covering extra incidental costs on trips, performances or practices.”

The event showcases student musicians in the Tucson Jazz Institute who are part of the six “Big Bands”: Chick Webb, Kenton, Woody Henderson, Buddy Rich, Basie and Ellington.

“Approximately 75 students will perform in front of a crowd of 100125 adoring fans of all ages,” Bruno said. “Attendees will enjoy hours of all the old Big Band favorites with plenty of dance floor to swing!”

The Valentine’s Day Big Band

Swing Dinner Dance offers a variety of activities to make the night one to remember, including dinner, dessert, dance lessons and of course, live music.

“The doors open at 6 p.m. with the Italian Buffet and Dessert beginning at 6:30 p.m., as well as the music,” Bruno said. “There will be swing dance lessons and demonstrations, the Lajkonik Lindy Hoppers, a photo booth and open dancing until 9:30 p.m.”

In addition, there will be a silent auction taking place at the dance.

“We will have some amazing silent auction items like gift baskets, wine baskets, $100 restaurant gift cards, a round of golf for four at SaddleBrooke, just to name a few,” Bruno said. “We will also have a wonderful wine table raffle with many featured wines from Pianetta Winery in Northern California.”

The Swing Dinner Dance is an exciting opportunity for many young musicians to gain experience in performing, while working to fund their programs. Nick Bruno, one of the musicians in the Ellington Big Band at the Tucson Jazz Institute,

said he is excited about performing at the second annual Valentine’s Day Big Band Swing Dinner Dance.

Bruno, a junior in high school, said he was inspired to start playing an instrument by his father, who plays the guitar. After dabbling with the guitar and drums, Bruno said he ultimately landed on the trumpet in the fifth grade, which he currently plays in the Ellington Big Band. “[Being in the Ellington Big Band] is a lot of pressure because you have to set a good example for the younger students who go there,” Bruno said.

“It is a lot of pressure, but honestly, it is a huge honor to be directed by such a good band director and to play with the other members of your band.”

Bruno participated in the first Swing Dinner Dance last February and said that although the atmosphere is very different from most of his other gigs because people are there to dance, the swing music and dancing create a happy vibe. He said his favorite part of the event was being on stage with his other band mates.

“It is like one big happy family,”

Bruno said. “I couldn’t imagine anything better than to play with those guys.”

After high school, Bruno said he plans on attending college for music education and becoming a trumpet professor.

With all of the revenue going to support the student musicians at the Tucson Jazz Institute, the cost for an individual ticket is $40 and $75 for each couple.

T

he UA has many great faculty members, and some of those faculty members happen to be married to each other. To celebrate love, scholarship and really adorable stories this Valentine’s Day, here’s some favorite faculty couples answering questions about their relationships.

How did you meet each other?

“On a Monday late in January 1981, I drove through a snowstorm from New York, … where I was then a professor at Columbia University, to Massachusetts to give a research seminar at the Worcester Foundation for Experimental Biology. For several reasons, including the weather, I didn’t want to take that trip, but I did so out of a sense of professional obligation. It clearly worked out well for me, however, because the best thing about the trip by far was meeting Gail.

She was a postdoctoral research fellow there at that time, and by good fortune, I sat next to her at a meal in a restaurant as part of my visit. I knew within minutes in a conversation with her that she fit my “search image.” After I returned to NYC, I wrote to her — there was no Internet then, and I couldn’t find a telephone number for her — expressing interest in getting together sometime if she might be interested. She responded by wiring roses to me — it doesn’t get better than that. We met in Boston the following week, which was almost Valentine’s Day, and as they say: ‘The rest is history.’”

— John Hildebrand, a neuroscience professor, on how he met Gail Burd, a professor of molecular and cellular biology “Not much more I can say after John’s comments. I guess you get the point that I wanted to see him again.”

— Burd about Hildebrand What is your most memorable Valentine’s Day together?

“Our most memorable Valentine’s was a trip to New Orleans. Southwest Airlines was celebrating their 25th anniversary and any flight was only $25. On a whim, we decided to go to [New Orleans] for Valentine’s [and] we had great food, saw jazz at Preservation Hall; very romantic.

Frankly, since Valentine’s Day falls within the semester, we usually just go out to dinner, and of course there is chocolate involved. Generally, we try and make anniversaries special and have done some very interesting trips.”

— Margaret Briehl, a pathology professor, about Dennis Ray, a plant sciences professor What is your favorite thing about each other?

“My favorite thing about my wife is her infectious laughter and indomitable spirit.”

— Rajesh Khanna, a pharmacology associate professor, about May Khanna, a pharmacology assistant professor “My favorite thing about my husband is his selflessness, his complete adoration of his kids and that he is madly in love with me.”

— May Khanna about Rajesh Khanna “Wow, this is a difficult question; how can I select one thing? We share a love of music — opera, symphony and chamber music — dance, visual arts and travel, but also have deep discussions about science, biomedical issues related to our course and politics. I think my favorite thing about John is that, in

addition to being my husband, he is my best friend.”

– Burd about Hildebrand “By now, a pattern should be clear to all readers. We agree on just about everything, and again, I agree with Gail. She’s my best friend, and by now, I have learned that there’s nothing more important in a relationship than genuine, caring friendship. It’s the core of love that lives forever.”

— Hildebrand about Burd Have you ever collaborated on research or a project at the UA? “We have collaborated on several projects in the past and continue to do so as our diverse backgrounds — mine in molecular and cellular neurobiology and hers in structural biology combined with and high throughput drug discovery — are a perfect marriage for what we are attempting to do in our scientific careers, which is to find novel ways to mitigate pain and migraine with biologics that target key proteinprotein interactions in the pain and migraine cellular transduction pathways.”

The PACC’s adoption event is only one of many pet adoptions to celebrate the holiday throughout the nation. Pet adoption services in New York, Cincinnati and Indianapolis, among others, are all hoping to give a pet a home and, in doing so, give a human some love.

Though adopting a pet is a serious responsibility that might be too large for college students, this doesn’t mean that you can’t be their valentine.

“A lot of students might not be in the right place to adopt a furry valentine, but you can still be a homeless pet’s valentine and bring a gift to our shelter,” said Karen Hollish, the PACC’s development director.

Forget the chocolate and bring a squeaky toy for a pup or washable cat toy for a kitten. Hollish said there are many more opportunities for students to show their love and compassion for animals.

“Even if you can’t adopt, you can help us through philanthropy,” Hollish said.

People can donate money or find their wish list on the Pima County website. Hollish specified that students can interact with animals and help PACC through volunteering. Volunteer positions range from dog walking and bottle-feeding to fostering animals in need. Everyone is welcome this weekend to bring gifts, give donations and potentially adopt.

T

he classic coffee date is getting a new twist as Starbucks and Match.com partner up to hold the “World’s Largest Starbucks Date.”

Friday, in honor of Valentine’s Day, participating Starbucks coffee shops around the world are offering special couple options and limited time treats for a discounted price from 2 p.m. until closing. The pairings include Caffé Verona for two and a double chocolate chunk brownie, a tall flat white and chocolate croissant or a grande raspberry or white chocolate mocha and a heart cookie. All of the pairings will be offered for $5 instead of their usual prices in the spirit of the holiday.

The traditional coffee outing has been a go-to for first dates for as long as anyone can remember.

Going out to a local coffee shop gives people a chance to get to know each other better in a public setting without the pressure that comes with a fancy dinner or a movie date. Many a relationship has started over creamer, good conversation and maybe a pastry or two. If it doesn’t work out, it was just coffee, right?

In today’s digital age, however, the world of online dating becomes more popular by the minute. According to statistics from Match.com, 40 million Americans use online dating services.

Some people enjoy the experience of online dating and have found their spouse through one of these websites, while others are turned off by the new form of courtship.

“You can’t go into it thinking, ‘I’m going to find my soulmate,’ which is what I think a lot of people still believe,” explained Michael Manaloto, a prephysiology freshman. Manaloto said he believes internet dating can work as long as a couple is committed to making it work, as with a typical relationship.

Whether or not cyber dating is for you, there’s no doubt about its popularity, but as with any information-sharing endeavor, there are always some risks.

It may be commonplace for people to fib when creating their online profiles about their height, weight and the like, but there are people who lie about their entire persona. The creation of fake profiles has become so popular that there’s an official term for the concept: catfishing. There’s even a reality television show by the same name on MTV where a pair of brothers try to help people find out if they have been “catfished.”

“You can basically create a totally different person online and pretend to be something you aren’t,” said Theresa Ruffin, a freshman studying pre-neuroscience and cognitive science. “That’s not to say that it can’t ever work if the people are actually being honest.” Ruffin said she has been hesitant to try out any online dating sites because it

is so easy for people to lie online.

All of the stories cause a fair amount of uncertainty when planning a meet up with an internet interest for the first time, but a coffee date can ease some of that tension. The public location and presence of other people make it more comfortable for both people involved and allow a couple to actually get to know each other in person, which is necessary for a relationship to develop past a computer monitor or smartphone screen.

This prompted Match.com to create a new feature on its website that allows couples to coordinate a coffee date using the option “Meet at Starbucks.”

“Meeting people face-to-face and actually being able to hold a conversation with them in person is the only way a relationship will work out,” explained Karen Ayala-Miranda, a freshman studying speech, language and hearing sciences.

So if you’re looking to meet up with your online sweetheart, grab a snack with your honey or just stop in for some coffee with a friend, know that you could be a part of the world’s largest Starbucks date.

Baseball opens with Eastern Michigan

BY ROSE ALY VALENZUELA The Daily Wildcat

The wait is over for Arizona baseball fans as the Wildcats host Eastern Michigan for the season opener at Hi Corbett Field on Friday.

Austin Schnabel is the starting pitcher for the season opener. Schnabel only pitched 16 innings last season as a freshman finishing with a 9.18 ERA. “Everything is up for grabs and Austin has done a really good job,” said Arizona head coach Andy Lopez.

Arizona finished with a 22-33 overall record last season with only nine Pac-12 Conference wins, which is something that Lopez hadn’t previously been through.

“Based off of last year, I came back in August and met with the club and said, ‘Hey, I’ve never been through anything like this, so every job is open,’” Lopez said.

The starting pitching rotation will have Schnabel on Friday, TCU transfer Robby Medel on Saturday and Tyger Talley on Sunday.

Talley has been the starting pitcher on Sundays before, and he said it’s nothing too new to him.

“The pitchers are ready to go,” Talley said.

“We feel ready. We’ve been preparing since the fall, and I think we should do a good job this weekend.”

The Wildcats start the season by facing the

Eagles, a squad that finished with a 19-34 record last season.

Although the teams didn’t meet last year, this will be the 12th time the two teams have faced each other, and Arizona has the 10-1 series advantage.

The first time Arizona faced Eastern Michigan was in the finals of the 1976 College World Series, the same year Arizona beat the Eagles 7-1 to win the first national title in school history.

The last time the two clubs met was in 2012 when Arizona swept a three-game series.

On the mound for the Eagles will be Ryan Lavoie on Friday, Charlie Land on Saturday and Jake Andrews on Sunday.

Lavoie is a senior who got on the mound 17 times for the Eagles last season, including seven starts. He finished with a 4.92 ERA and a 2-4 record in 53 innings. Land and Andrews are also seniors. Land had 17 appearances on the mound last season and Andrews had 12.

Looking back at last season, Arizona recorded its first loss against Kent State with just two games in, but hopes are high that this won’t happen again.

“We feel pretty solid right now,” Tyler Krause said. “After our fall performance, I feel that we’re competitive, aggressive and efficient enough. I think we are ready for an enemy now.”

Krause is one of the players who battled for an outfield spot throughout the fall and

UA drops Drake in Hillenbrand Invitational

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

A windy night did nothing to slow down Arizona softball’s offensive prowess as the No. 14 Wildcats (4-0) defeated Drake 6-1 in the opening game of the Hillenbrand Invitational.

Arizona’s leadoff batter Hallie Wilson started off the night with a slam to right field, taking advantage of a strong breeze to that part of the field. It was the first home run of the season for Wilson, who entered the game batting .100 but boosted up her average by going 3-3.

“After the first three games, everybody is like, ‘Oh, she is going to slump,’” Wilson said. “But in reality, it’s early in the season, so I’m just trying to make adjustments.”

Drake starting pitcher Laura Brewer prevented any more early damage until a fourrun third-inning rally broke the game open for the Wildcats.

A Kellie Fox sacrifice fly brought home Eva Watson to make it 2-0. Then with two outs, Chelsea Goodacre’s RBI single up the middle scored Wilson.

Slugger Katiyana Mauga closed out the rally with her second home run of the year — a tworun shot to center.

The next inning, the Wildcats added one more to the board as Wilson scored in Watson on a sneak bunt. With the wind blowing so strong, Arizona turned to a small-ball approach instead of looking for homers.

“We took batting practice on the field which was a good thing because we kind of saw where the ball was carrying around,” said Arizona softball coach Mike Candrea. “When you get wind like that, the game is played on the ground, but we hit a couple into the wind that we weren’t trying to.”

UA pitcher Trish Parks made her first career start on the mound and kept Drake hitless through 3 1/3 innings. The Bulldogs finally got to the freshman in the fourth inning, with their lone run coming off back-to-back UA infield errors.

By not allowing an earned run over five innings, Parks’ ERA dropped to 0.61 on the season.

Siera Phillips replaced Parks in the sixth inning and recorded the final six outs without much drama. The two Arizona pitchers limited Drake to only three hits on the night.

The Hillenbrand Invitational continues on Friday as the Wildcats host Loyola Marymount at 4 p.m. and Wright State at 6 p.m.

Loyola Marymount is off to a 2-1 start this season with a pair of wins over Northwestern State before falling to Sacramento State. Wright State kicks off its campaign after going 19-32 last year.

On Saturday, Arizona plays San Jose State (42) and Loyola Chicago (2-2) in a late-afternoon double-header that features offensive standouts from both opponents.

Estrada won Mountain West Player of the Week honors by hitting five home runs.

Meanwhile, Hannah Jenkins of Loyola Chicago was named Missouri Valley Conference Player of the Week after batting .667 in the Ramblers’ four games.

Wildcats look to build a winning streak

BY EZRA AMACHER The Daily Wildcat

Coming off a defining victory over Stanford, Arizona women’s basketball will try to build a winning streak this weekend when it travels to take on Oregon and Oregon State.

The home defeat over Stanford gave the Wildcats a win over a top-15 team for the second consecutive season. Yet, like last year, Arizona has struggled to match up to the competition in the Pac-12 Conference.

The UA currently sits at 2-10 in league play and 11th place in the conference.

“For us to be where we are right now in the position we’re in, [the Stanford win] is a huge eye opener,” Arizona guard Candice Warthen said. “We just have to take the momentum and move forward in a positive way.”

With the Pac-12 Tournament inching closer, the Wildcats could desperately use at least one win on this trip to boost their chances of earning a higher seed.

The more manageable of the two games comes on Friday night when Arizona travels to Eugene, Ore., to face an Oregon team it already beat in Tucson last month.

The overtime win against the Ducks, fueled by a gameclinching 3-pointer from freshman Charise Holloway, gave the Wildcats their first victory against a conference opponent.

For Arizona to complete the season sweep, it will need to do a better job of crashing the boards than it has the past couple weeks. By not coming down with defensive boards in particular, opponents continue to burn the Wildcats on second-chance opportunities.

On an encouraging note, it was against Oregon that Arizona had perhaps its best rebounding performance of the season,

grabbing 53 boards led by 11 from Warthen.

Despite being 5-foot-5, the senior ranks second on the team in rebounds, behind forward LaBrittney Jones. Warthen is also getting it done on the offensive side — she made the gamewinning shot versus Stanford — and was rewarded with Pac-12 Player of the Week on Monday.

Warthen currently ranks No. 17 on Arizona’s all-time career scoring list and is eight points shy of tying Kim Conway (1,060) for 16th on the list.

On Sunday afternoon, the UA has another opportunity to take down an elite team as it plays No. 8 Oregon State in Corvallis, Ore. The Beavers, who sit atop the Pac-12 standings, have not lost a home game all season.

For the Wildcats to pull the stunning upset, it would likely require their best offensive performance of the season.

Considering that Arizona is shooting 35 percent from the field against conference opponents, a hot streak on the road sounds unlikely.

When the two teams faced off in McKale Center, Oregon State handled the Wildcats without much trouble, winning by 18 points. In that game, the Beavers hit 10 of their 20 3-point attempts and shot 53 percent overall.

While a win over Oregon State is unlikely, Arizona proved it could hang with the conference’s best by beating Stanford. If the Wildcats can carry over the momentum from the Cardinal win, a victory over the Beavers may be plausible.

“Everybody on our team should have so much confidence,” said Arizona forward Breanna Workman. “I think it will do so much more for us in the games to come.”
